235 The login details window allows you to edit the connection details and
236 authorization information used by Disobedience.
238 At the top is a 'remote' switch.
239 If this is enabled then you can use the \fBHostname\fR and \fBService\fR
240 fields to connect to a remote server.
241 If it is disabled then then Disobedience will connect to a local server
244 Below this are four text entry fields:
247 The host to connect to.
250 The service name or port number to connect to.
253 The user name to log in as.

279 Tags are separated by commas and can contain any printing characters except
282 The Weight field determines the track weight. Tracks with higher weights are
283 proportionately more likely to be picked at random. The default weight is
284 90000, and the maximum weight is 2147483647.
286 The Random checkbox determines whether the track will be picked at random.
287 Random play is enabled for every track by default, but it can be turned off
290 The double-headed arrow to the right of each preference will propagate its
291 value to all the other tracks in the window.
292 For instance, this can be used to efficiently correct the artist or album
293 fields, or bulk-disable random play for many tracks.
295 Press "OK" to confirm all changes and close the window, "Apply" to confirm
296 changes but keep the window open and "Cancel" to close the window and discard

306 the "Apply" button to commit any changes you make.
308 The "Add" button creates a new user. You must enter at least a username.
309 Default rights are setting according to local configuration, \fInot\fR server
310 configuration (but this may be changed in the future). As above, click on

327 .BR disorder\-playrtp (1)
329 If you quit Disobedience the player will continue playing and can be
330 disabled from a later run of Disobedience.
332 The player will log to
333 .I ~/.disorder/HOSTNAME\-rtp.log
334 so look there if it does not seem to be working.
336 You can stop it without running Disobedience by the command
337 .BR "killall disorder\-playrtp" .

370 on the same host as the server then no additional configuration should be
373 If it is running on a different host then the easiest way to set it up is to
374 use the login details window in Disobedience.
375 Enter the connection details, use Login to connect to the server, and then
376 use Save to store them for future sessions.
378 The other clients read their configuration from the same location so after
379 setting up with Disobedience, tools such as
383 There is no particular provision for multiple users of the same computer
384 sharing a single \fBdisorder\-playrtp\fR process.
385 This shouldn't be too much of a problem in practice but something could
386 perhaps be done given demand.
388 Try to do remote user management when the server is configured to refuse this
389 produces rather horrible error behavior.
391 Only one track can be dragged at a time.
393 Resizing columns doesn't work very well.
397 .I ~/.disorder/HOSTNAME\-rtp
